Tarangire
National Park, Tanzania (From Moshi or Arusha)

Day
Trip Safari from Arusha Town

(Tarangire
National Park lies 118 km (75 miles) southwest of Arusha, along The Great
North Road highway, and is very popular for day trips from the town. Tarangire
offers a wide variety of wildlife in its area of 2,600 Square Kilometers.
Tarangire is the sixth largest park in Tanzania.)

Tarangire
(pronounced as Taa-raa-nghee-reh) National Park is one of the few national
parks in Tanzania, who flora and fauna have not been elaborately described
to prospective guest, making the park being overlooked and skipped during
the Tanzania's northern circuit safaris.

Tarangire
National Park has the highest number of elephants in the whole of the
northern Tanzania parks, exceeding Lake Manyara and Serengeti. There have
also been a 550 bird species recorded in the Tarangire National Park,
making a sure pleaser for any bird lover.

Lake
Manyara National Park is famous for its diverse wildlife, its relatively
small size makes it ideal for an exiting day trip filled with many adventures.

In
the early morning, we will collect you from your hotel and drive you to
Lake Manyara National Park. The park encompasses the northwest bank and
part of the alkaline Lake Manyara which itself rests in the Great Rift
Valley. The park is perhaps best known for its flamingos, pelicans and
cormorants but it is also the home for a few hundred other species of
birds; it is therefore a paradise for ornithologists. Next to a great
variety of birds, the "Big Game" can also be seen in which elephants
can often be spotted in the wooded regions along with the tree-climbing
lions. Indeed, it was thought for a long time that this spot is the only
place where lions can be found with this atypical behaviour of climbing
trees. Baboons and guenons are also found amongst the forested areas and
in the more open spaces, giraffes nibble at the fresh leaves while the
various types of antelopes common to the region browse for tasty shoots.
After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and wildlife
watching before it is time to return to Arusha.
